Popularizing Science.

For while science has made its begin.
ming in observation, it has really con-
structed system out of the heap Of OBJ
scrVations only by rationalizing. If,
however, il be objected, from the scien-
tifc standpoint, that the transcendental
philosophy is too intricate, remote and
in many of its aspects abstract, to be
attractive to the scientific mind, there
is but one answer: Things can not be
made simpler than they are. 1t is a
much easier thing to know, than to
construct theory of knowing. Here
no attempt can be successful which will
not face things remote from ordinary
experience; the intricacy is lying within
the ordinary. wrapped up in the mar
veis of our own intellectual procedure.
Granting the loss of popularity which
this involves, the rational school must
accept the inevitable, as science itself
does in order that it may be truly scien'
tiiic. For science proclaims the impos
sibility of popularizing itself.-Neu
